BCF Manager does not start

In this article, learn how to troubleshoot BCF Manager startup by checking your graphics card, installation path, and network settings.

Updated over 4 months ago

To find a solution for the problem, there are a few things we need to check first.

Graphic card

First we would recommend that you check which graphics card your computer has (you can check that by accessing the task manager [ctrl+alt+delete], going to the performance tab and clicking in GPU. Your graphics card will be named in the top right of the window).

In the links below you can check in the websites of the manufacturers for driver updates.

For others brands please consult the manufacturer website directly.

File location

Secondly, could you check if the file location of the BCF Manager matches the one below?

C: [or any other drive you use]\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2021\AddIns\BCF Manager

Can you see all files the same as here above? Especially the file BIMcollab_csx.dll.

Proxy server

Do you make use of a proxy server in your company?

Or perhaps is there any firewall or antivirus blocking the access to the file? Your IT department could perhaps check that.

If all these things are correct and the problem is still occurring, then please send us the following information:

- What version of the software are you using?

- What version of the BCF manager is installed on that software?

- We would like to know your hardware configuration:

Windows:


From the start menu, open the Run dialog box


Type: dxdiag


Select ‘Save All information…’


Mac:


Open the ‘System Profiler’ (Click the Apple icon in the top left > About this MAC > System Profiler) 


Go to the menu ‘Archive’


‘Save…’


Send us these files in your reply.
